The average 400 rwhp LS1 gets destroyed by a stock C6 Z06 with equal drivers. But as many others have pointed out, a 400 rwhp LS1 with weight reduction, big stall, suspension goodies and sticky tires can beat a stock c6 Z06 in the quarter mile.

But even if I had a 800 rwhp LS1 capable of destroying any stock Z06 at will, I would still rather have the new Z06 sitting in my driveway

I am not a fan of vettes, but teh C6 Z06 is one that I would own. Def. a badass car. mid 11s (if drven right) high 11s- low 12s with avg driver...~3200 pounds with 440+ RWHP.........that is one potent MFer.

In the 1/4 there is a good chance to match the time. 11.50's seem realistic for both but the traps will be 119-121 vs ZO6 125+. From a roll ......the faster ya run them that car should just flat out walk away. Damn I want one so bad. Anyone want to buy a warmed up 03 Cobra?

i've raced a few and blew their doors off, especially from a roll on, but i have a blower and cam that keep pulling all the way to the redline. then again i also have 508rwhp on the most terrible day possible to dyno. i'm guessing the c6 z06 would win but not by much. my roomate has a c5 z06 and those things are over-rated, trust me. ls1 f-body all the way!

THe F-body would get killed period. Unless you morons are talking about a dragged out gutted F-body. Then it would be close.

Z06's run mid 11's with a good driver, 11.3 with a great driver BONE STOCK at 125-127 mph. I like F-body's but there is no way a hopped up F-bod will beat a new Z06.

This guy thinks so...
Let me answer this one NO !!!!!!!!!!!

My C5 with everything you can think of (see sig) at 473 rwhp 431 rwtq couldn't beat the C6 ZO6. I did terrible against FADI the first time we hooked up, the second time I did much better, but not good enough to win. The only race where I win with the current setup is from a roll 100 to 150. At that point I am in my power band and the race ends at the very top of 4th gear for me. No shifting , no traction issues, just hold on.

I keep saying that I have a project in mind, I think I have settled on a forged 402 block, swap over my heads etc etc, and tune her really well. Several guys have built 402's with AFR 205 heads and made 490-505 rwhp and 480 + rwtq. The 402 would beat the ZO6. JMHO's

You have a sick setup but blew their doors off? Do you mean from a dig or roll? I only ask because allng_c5 has some sick vids of a procharged 500 rwhp ls1 fbody getting beat by fadi's new C6 Z06 from a roll

my partner with a T/A 500rwhp got really close to beating C6 Z06 there is no way that a 400rwhp f-body will get close to the C6 Z06's bumper(rear)

It's very well possible. Just depends on how the car is setup, RPM ranges, suspension, gears, weight, etc. don't race in magazines, race at the track.

Now if we are talking bang for the buck to make the fastest car possible then obviously you can pick up an fbody for cheap, mod the **** out of it, and make it faster than the vette, but your still suck with an f-body...I love my camaro but seriously the vette is in another league.
you mean the 06 Z06

Shouldn't we be comparing a 400rwhp fbody with the same transmission and tires as the zo6? In that case the fbody will get completely destroyed.
